  • They were always torture chambers and death traps. That is what I, as a 🦅conservative®🦅, like about them.

  • Turning?

    Y'all, that's what US prisons always were. When I was growing up in the 'naughties we regularly joked about prison murder and rape and the many inhumane indignities prisoners face. That was just "normal" for kids. Prisons have always been death camps.

    Climate change is just creating another way to torture people to death.

    Abolition is the only answer.
